The Decline of Nokia...What Happened?
Рет қаралды 1,144,025
5 жыл бұрынNokia was once dominant over the cell phone market, nearing a 40% market share (compare that to today when the largest company has about 20% market share). Yet today, they're virtually nonexistent in the market. This video takes a look at the rise and fall of Nokia.
If you dig the old Nokia 3310 design, I recommend purchasing this: amzn.to/2Xmxef1 (affiliate)
If you want to buy one of their modern smartphones: amzn.to/2ZkRG1L (affiliate)
*To be clear, the Nokia company still exists today and is still fairly large, just much smaller than they once were and they no longer make Nokia branded phones.

Watching this on my Nokia 8. The only phone I've owned for more than a year in which the performance hasn't degraded exponentially.

What I love about Nokia phones is their durability. I have a 11 yrs old Nokia N97 and still working till this day. It survived many falls including a fall from a moving vehicle which really amazes me. Nowadays I only use it for texting and calls and I really love typing using keypad.

Gotta do Blackberry man, especially the way they shot themselves in the foot with their comeback.

I've heard that the Nokia CEO who sold it to Microsoft was a former MS executive. They say he only sold it to MS so he could get back into MS and even dreamed about becoming it's CEO one day.

I used several Nokia phones and loved each one of them, especially the 3310, we called it “the brick” because it was so tough.

It was unreal how popular Nokia was. I had one, my siblings had one, all of our friends had one, and most of our parents with cell phones at the time had one. Back when you can run over your phone with an 18-wheeler and still be in good shape, and the game snake was one of the only games you could play on it

Former Nokia employee here. The most salient point you made was that they had great hardware held back by poor software... Back in Symbian days! We were still saying that well into the Microsoft period! Sad stuff.
